The fast paced blind structures and quick decision times mean that speed poker games finish in a much shorter space of time. Perfect for online poker players looking for a quick game. Blinds in speed poker or speed tournaments are often increased every 3-5 minutes and decision times are usually cut to between 6 and 10 seconds. Limit of 15 seconds is very popular also among some online casinos.
Each player has 15 seconds to act before his or her hand is ruled dead (or checked if there has been no previous action). Players are given one or more 30 second time extensions which they may use on any turn.
In the World Speed Poker Open all play was no limit.
